And in the end, they found nothing wrong with the name originally given to their team when the Indians Double-A franchise moved from Canton to Akron in 1997, switching from the Canton-Akron Indians to the Akron Aeros.

Local baseball fans anxious to hear the results of the Aeros’ re-branding contest won’t have to wait as long as originally planned.

Instead of the originally-scheduled announcement coming on Oct. 6 with a big to-do at the Akron Civic Center, the team is expected to send out a press release Wednesday morning announcing whether the team will be changing names along with the winning entry.

It’s the final home game of the season the Akron Aeros, and they have been successful on the home stand so far. They split a four-game series with Richmond and have a chance to take three of four from Reading if they win at 7:05 p.m. tonight.
